Abstract
A method includes a first provider edge (PE) device sending, to a second PE device, a media access control (MAC) route learned from a customer edge (CE) device and a virtual local area network (VLAN) identifier, wherein the second PE device generates a MAC forwarding entry based on the MAC route and the VLAN identifier, where the MAC forwarding entry is used to directly forward, using the CE device, a packet whose destination MAC address is the CE device or a MAC address of a terminal device accessing the CE device. An outbound interface identifier included in the MAC forwarding entry is an identifier of an interface connected to the CE device.
